DESCRIPTION A. Sprinkler Cabinets Viking sprinkler cabinets are metal enclosures constructed to store an emergency supply of spare sprinklers and a sprinkler instal- lation wrench. NFPA 13 requires a representative number of each type and temperature rating of sprinkler head to be kept in a cabinet on the premises. NFPA 13 also requires a special sprinkler wrench to be provided in the cabinet. This allows for immediate removal and replacement of sprinklers that have operated or that have become damaged. Stock of spare sprinklers should include sprinklers of all the types and temperature ratings as are installed in the sprinkler system, in the following quantities: Number of Minimum Number Sprinklers in of Spare Sprinklers the System Required Under 300 6 300-1,000 12 Over 1,000 24 B. Sprinkler Wrenches Viking sprinkler wrenches are special installation tools specifically designed for use with the various Viking sprinklers and spray nozzles. The appropriate wrenches must be used with the indicated sprinklers and nozzles to provide the proper leverage when tightening sprinklers or nozzles and to minimize slippage during installation. Using wrenches other than the ones designated for installation may damage the sprinkler. Refer to Tables 2a and 2b and the ap- propriate sprinkler or spray nozzle data page for the correct installation wrenches that must be used. Wrenches 10896W/B, 07297W/B, 05118CW/B, 13635W/B, and 16888M/B provide the amount of leverage needed to tighten sprinklers and spray nozzles into pipe fittings while preventing sprinkler damage. No additional tools are necessary with these wrenches. The following wrenches require a separate ''Y2" ratchet (not available from Viking) to provide the correct amount of leverage: 08336W/B, 10366W/B,07565W/B, 11663W/B, 13032W/B, 13577W/B, 13619, 15466, 13623W/B, 15467W/B, 15209W/R, 13655W/B, 14031, 14047W/B, 16036W/B, 16208W/R, and 16267. The internal diameters of sprinkler wrenches 08336W/B, 10366W/B, 15209W/R, 16036W/B, 16208W/R, and 16267 are designed for use with the sprinkler contained in the protective shell. (A protective shell should be retained in the spare sprinkler cabinet.) Wrench part number 10551 W/B is required for threading institutional escutcheon plates onto institutional sprinklers. Wrench part number 10729 is a 2-1/2" (63.5 mm)C-C face spanner wrench used for removing institutional escutcheon plates from institutional sprinklers (refer to the DISASSEMBLY section of institutional sprinkler technical data pages). Wrench part number 15915 is optional for removing protective sprinkler caps and for installing E-1 and F-1 Escutcheons on frame style pendent sprinklers from the floor by attaching a length of 1" diameter CPVC tubing to the tool.
